Ordering Food Packages for West Central Inmates: Union Supply Options, Limits, and Costs

Yes, you can send food packages to someone at West Central through Union Supply. The Georgia Department of Corrections approves Union Supply for all Integrated Treatment Facilities (ITFs), which includes West Central. Just make sure your order stays within the program's limits and deadlines.

At ITFs like West Central, packages are capped at $100 or 15 pounds - whichever comes first. Ordering multiple times for the same person? Those orders get combined into one package, and the combined total still can't exceed $100 or 15 pounds.

Tips Avoid Rejection

  • ✓ Treat West Central as an Integrated Treatment Facility (ITF) for package rules and limits.
  • ✓ Keep your total under $100 per offender or 15 lbs per package (whichever comes first).
  • ✓ Don’t assume separate orders will “stack” - multiple orders can be consolidated into one package and still must fit within the same limits.
